Former Invicta Title Challenger Colleen Schneider Signs with Bellator MMA

Former Invicta Fighting Championships title challenger Colleen
Schneider has signed a deal to compete for Bellator MMA.

Schneider recently confirmed the news following an initial report
from
MMAjunkie.com. While the CSW representative has competed
primarily at bantamweight during her 17-bout career, she will move
to the flyweight division in Bellator.

Her promotional debut is likely to come on Jan. 21 in Los Angeles
at Bellator
170, a card headlined by Chael Sonnen
and Tito
Ortiz. Scheider does not yet have an opponent.

The 34-year-old known as “Thoroughbred” is 10-7 as a pro, with six
triumphs coming inside the distance. She saw a four-fight winning
streak come to an end in her most recent outing, when she lost a
five-round verdict to Tonya
Evinger in a 135-pound title bout at Invicta FC 17 on May
7.
